It is important to follow the laws regarding importing to Serbia from the U.S. Although these laws may seem complicated, it is quite possible to have a personal vehicle moved to Central and Southeast Europe.
Having a personal vehicle exported will prove beneficial if staying there for an extended period. It will give a person the leniency of traveling throughout Europe without having to use public forms of transportation. Even though there are wonderful means of travel within the country and plenty of roadways, traveling in a new country can be intimidating. By having a personal vehicle delivered, public transit and ongoing travel expenses included in public transportation can be avoided.

Reasons to Have Your Vehicle Moved
Serbia transit can take some getting used to if a person has never traveled within a foreign country on their own. With the number of things that will need to be researched and the things that will already take getting accustomed to, trying to figure out public transportation may cause even more confusion. There are many reasons to have your vehicle shipped to Serbia.
- Avoiding language barriers while traveling will be easier
- More efficient means of traveling
- A quicker way to travel
- It will cost less money in the long run
The Two Best Ways to Move Your Vehicle
RO/RO and container are the two main approaches to shipping a vehicle overseas. Both are efficient means of transporting goods, and anyone wanting to import an automobile will need to select the best method for them.
RO/RO moving entails literally rolling a car aboard a ship and then driving it off again. Nothing should be in the car when it's being shifted. When using container shipping, however, you can bring in any personal effects that are legal to import into Serbia. While hauling via container is more expensive than RO/RO, the cost can be shared between two people if the container is shared.
How to Dispatch Your Vehicle
Shipping your vehicle will require specific documentation and mandatory actions. Serbian law requires that any vehicle imported must pass the European emissions standards or Euro 3 standards. Typically, vehicles manufactured in the U.S. aren't Euro 3 certified, making it nearly impossible to register them in your country. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that importation to Serbia isn't manageable. Other matters will need to be acknowledged as well.
Required Documents
- Customs certification (within 30 days)
- Vehicle title
- Proof of ownership
- Serbian visa and proof of residence
- Work permit
- Inspection document
- Bill of lading
- Purchase invoice
- Engine size certification
All of the above must be presented to Customs to make vehicle shipping possible. Without the proper documentation, a vehicle cannot be shifted to Serbia or any Central and Southeast European country.

The Overseas Transport Method Right for You
The heavy equipment and oversized cargo you plan to ship to Serbia will determine what shipping methods you can use. When you call to discuss your options and receive your free quote, one of our representatives will review your options once you provide them with a few details.
- The Lift On/Lift Off method of transport, also known as the LoLo method, requires using a crane to pick up and place your cargo on the boat. We typically use this form of transport for inoperable vehicles, construction equipment, and crated cargo.
- The Roll-on/Roll-off method of shifting, also known as the RoRo shipping method, is the most affordable option. To use this method, your vehicle or equipment must be capable of driving onto and off of the boat using a ramp.
- The Flat Rack hauling method is an open-air service that secures cargo to a durable, large metal frame before loading it onto the ship.
- Container shipping is the costliest and safest form of hauler. This enclosed service means that your cargo must fit into a 40ft container where it is kept safe from bad weather conditions and other outside hazards.
